How ?

How do i make a serton part of a model transparent in ms3d, and keep it transparent when i export it ?

Alpha channel on your texture, then filtermode 'transparent' when you've exported.

Ok, and is the filtermode in ms3d or in the "Paint Program" whilst doing the texture.

Milkshape takes alpha channels into account; but Warcraft does not (by default).

Create your alpha channel in the paint program, make sure it's saved, and you're fine.

Once you have the model exported to MDX, you change the filtermode on the main material(s) so the game uses the alpha channel.

ok, what i change the filtermode on the main material(s) to ?

you mean this

Materials 1 {
Material {
Layer {
FilterMode None,
static TextureID 0,

to

Materials 1 {
Material {
Layer {
FilterMode on,
static TextureID 0,

"FilterMode Transparent," is what you're looking for.

Material {
		Layer {
			FilterMode Transparent,
			static TextureID 0,
